Thomas R. Lippert, who served time for the weird kidnapping of a Purdue student in 1975, worked at the Reproductive Medical Technologies, Inc. clinic (now closed) in Salt Lake City from 1988 to 1993. He died in 1999.

When one family who visited the clinic in 1992 decided to DNA test their whole family, they discovered their daughter was not related to the man she thought was her father. Through a genealogy website, the girl's mother tracked down a relative of Lippert's who told her that Lippert had worked at the RMTI clinic.
